A charged capacitor stores energy, and when the Teflon dielectric between the plates is pulled out the energy stored more than doubles. Where did the extra energy come from?
 
  What will be an ideal response?

Question 2

The coulomb, which is the unit of charge, is the charge on one electron.
 
  Indicate whether the statement is true or false

Answer to Question 1

The charged plates have a net attraction to the polarized charges in the dielectric as the dielectric is removed. We must do work to remove the Teflon which puts extra energy into the capacitor system.

Answer to Question 2

FALSE

There are major differences in the metabolism of morphine and the illegal drug heroin. Morphine mostly produces its CNS effects through m-receptors, and at k- and d-receptors. Heroin has a slight affinity for opiate receptors. Most of its actions are due to metabolism to active metabolites (6-acetylmorphine, morphine, and morphine-6-glucuronide).
